After growing up in California, I received my BS in Physics at University of California Santa Barbara in 2004. I then entered the PhD. program at the University of Oregon in 2005. I have been working in Professor Hailin Wang's Lab doing research in Quantum Optics since the summer of 2006.

In the Wang Lab I work on Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (CQEDs). The idea is to control the electromagnetic radiation emitted from an optical center by placing it within the field of an optical cavity. The aim of the research is to build a robust CQED system that can be used in Quantum Computation schemes.

Outside of the lab I enjoy working in my garden, running, and yoga. I love the bike paths, hiking trails, and local beauty that is Oregon. After graduate school I look forward to using my degree in Physics working on the earth's environmental challenges.
